Always up for REACH customs!

Bloom has been confirmed for Halo 4's DMR and Magnum, though it's not as severe as the bloom in vanilla Reach. The BR will NOT have bloom.

Too bad, I hoped with all the hate bloom had been getting from the start, it wouldn't be in it at all.

What's with the downies voting for bloom

  • 05.06.2012 8:30 AM PDT

Have faith in me

To be honest, I see no point of it, but then I see no point of the hate. It doesn't really do much. It doesn't move the bullet THAT much.

If MR EOS is not trolling then he just doesn't understand Halo. Period.

Bloom is completely unnecessary for Halo. It adds nothing to the franchise and was one of the worst mistakes made in Reach

At first I thought he was serious.

Each time he posts, I am more confused about his motives for posting. Why would a troll try this hard? How could a sentient individual seriously hold his positions? Why does he still care enough to post, though he hasn't played for over a year?

Because he cares for the gaming industry. Clearly, defending Reach is the same as defending the gaming industry.

Halo revolves around 1 Utility Weapon

That only happens when the devs screw up the sandbox (every Halo game except CE).

Seriously, just stop. You don't understand Halo, your arguments aren't cohesive, and you always seem pissed off at everybody when you post. Why so mad?

It's because you know you're wrong and you're trying ever so hard to continue to troll when in actuality you weren't even good at it in the first place.

So to argue against the points you present--whether you stand by them legitimately or not--I ask you this question:

Why should there be a chance that my bullet will go where I fire it or it wont?

If I aim at X, it shouldn't go to Y. If that's the case then Xbox should start selling clown controllers that randomly switch which button does what in the middle of the game. That's how bloom makes me feel; it's indisputably the worst gameplay element introduced to this game.

I don't understand why you make it your business to defend Reach's gameplay mechanics and incorporate your advanced math into your arguments. The humor comes from the fact that you have very little Halo experience and you relish in the delusion that you're not only more intelligent than people clearly better at the game than you, but also in the fact that you speak for the casual community, one of which has members who also disagree with you.

i thought "M' games were made to be more realistic? the bullets don't always hit the same spot each and every time! this and fall damage are some of the worst reasons to hate games. almost EVERY game has these. you know why? because it makes it more like the real thing.

Realism is a poor defense in favor of these additions. There's no reason an augmented human in a super suit should take fall damage. It only made sense in ODST, and we likely wont be seeing it back in H4 because there's no visible health. Fall damage isn't even a problem though compared to Bloom.

Nope

Also, we have weapons TODAY with less "recoil" the Reach.
You wana make me believe a gun 500 years in the future will have MORE recoil? lol

I'm not racist, I own a colored TV

How about the speed of the DMR shot is turned down.

No bloom/No spamming

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Bloom is not realistic at all. Recoil is.

Bloom =/= recoil.

I couldn't care less about shots missing, but bloom slows down gameplay far too much. Takes like 10 seconds to kill someone. And then when they <sprint> (another -blam!- gimmick) away I can't headshot them because my bullets scatter like stardust.

I like bloom.
So you take luck anyday over a satifying skillfull kill? Good to know where gamers now stand, without reason it seems.

How the hell are you gonna ask for opinions then critisize people when you get them?

I only replied to this guy, because I see a vote as your opinion, but you can add text to back it up. This guy voted and just said what he voted, with no reasons as to why he likes it.
If I can't comment negatively on someones post even if he has his reasons, why talk about bloom at all? This topic was created as many others (believe me, I know) to discuss and debate bloom. It is clear as water that you can and may critisize my op, so why can't I counter opinions that counter that.
Glad to get the basics of debate out of the way, now let's return to the topic.

U Wot m8

Idk if people are trolling this thread voting for bloom but..

0/10 bloom sucks and will always suck.

  • 05.08.2012 8:50 AM PDT

Okay, listen, we should get our stories straight, all right? If anyone asks, and no one's gonna ask, don't worry, but if anyone asks, tell them as far as you know, the last time you checked, everyone looked pretty much alive, all right? Not dead.

My Stats And Armor

I don't like Bloom. And recoil should stay in COD.

Actually the hipfire recoil in cod is bs as well. The shots fired in recoil should go where the recoil goes, instead they chose to show a lot of recoil and randomised where the bullets go. But let's not whine about that.
